This project is a visual exploration of the relationship between Sub-Saharan Africa’s economic development and its infrastructure.
Sub-Saharan Africa has been evaluated as being at the bottom of developing regions in terms of infrastructure performance,
and numbers of obstacle for growth and poverty reduction across the region.
The aim is to answer questions such as: How have infrastructure changes in Sub-Saharan Africa led or not led to economic growth in the past thirty years? Does growth in communications infrastructure, such as internet and cellphones, lead to economic growth? Are there differences in outcomes by the income-level of the country? How does inflation and vulnerable employment factor in?
